Palos Verdes Estates, CA 90274

Rich in history and architectural significance, this extraordinary three-bedroom, three-bath residence occupies 15,464 square feet of hillside in one of Palos Verdes Estates’ most coveted settings. From its elevated position, the home captures direct, unobstructed views across Palos Verdes Cove, whitewater & coastline to Malibu and the endless Pacific horizon. Designed and built by Richard Neutra, one of the 20th century’s most influential modernist architects, the residence reflects his enduring philosophy of connecting architecture, nature, light and landscape. Neutra’s celebrated works include the Lovell Health House in Los Feliz, the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs, and many other internationally recognized residential masterpieces. At 1,668 square feet, the home demonstrates the power of thoughtful design over sheer scale. Its steel construction, disciplined floor plan and carefully positioned use of glass create an intimate connection to the landscape while maximizing the extraordinary setting. The ocean is present throughout the home—from the primary bedroom, living room and dining room to the rooftop deck. The protected parkland to the south and open sightline toward the Pacific provide a rare sense of permanence to the view—an increasingly scarce quality in coastal real estate. A detached garage is complemented by a versatile flex space with its own full bath, offering an ideal guest suite, gym, studio or creative retreat. Whether entertaining, enjoying a quiet morning coffee or simply watching the changing light across the Pacific, this is a home designed around an experience. It offers not only a remarkable place to live, but the opportunity to own a piece of architectural history. For the buyer who understands architecture, this is more than real estate. It is a work of art, a piece of history and a lifestyle where the land, the architecture and the Pacific arrive together.
